[Healeys] Starters

[David Nock BCS]

Check the battery cut off switch first. When cranking the motor have someone 
touch the terminals on the switch and see if the are getting warm. If so 
there is a bad connection.  Also do this at the starter solenoid.

Also you can turn the headlights on and leave them on for about 5 minutes. 
Then go around and feel all the battery cable connections to see if any are 
warm. Battery pos and neg, battery switch, cable to frame, ground cable, 
starter solenoid. IF any are warm clean the connections first.

If all are good then you probably have a starter the is failing. I would 
recommend the gear reduction starters and remove the original starter 
solenoid.

Listers,

It appears that my starter is slowly dying.  It is operating slower and
slower with a fully charged battery.  Nothing seems to effect it, even
after a long drive, with a hot/warm engine the starter acts the same,
slower and slower.

Does it make sense to switch to the gear reduction starter or have this one
rebuilt, if that will improve performance.

What has been the experience of those who have made the switch?  What
actually is the benefit of the switch?  What sources are there for the
starter?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Fred
